These are my perspectives of the kitchen space.

These are the construction documents

done for Michael Stipe's kitchen.

This is the dimensioned floor plan of the kitchen space.

This is the electrical and switching floor plan showing all outlets and lights.

This is the cabinet elevations of the island and the north wall.

This is the cabinet elevations of the east and south walls.

This is the elevations and sections of my case piece where the dog bowl pullout is.

Materials Study

Fabric

Recycled Glass Tiles

Zodiaq Countertops

Bamboo Flooring

This is four of the materials I am using in my kitchen project.

For this assignment we were to draw four different materials

three times, one with pencil, one with maker, and one with pen.

The left is pencil showing the material zoomed in.

The middle is maker showing it at regular.

The right is pen showing it zoomed out.

This really helped me when it came time to render my perspectives of my kitchen space, with techniques and at what scale it would be viewed at.

Concept Graphic

This is the graphic I did for my concept, Flower Garden.

I picked some of the flowers Michael Stipe has in his flower garden.

The top one I drew in pencil and used it to trace the bottom one

so there wouldn't be pencil lines around the white flowers.

Gradation thru Spheres

In my sculpting class we were assigned to use basic shapes and make an abstract piece.

I wanted to use the sphere shape and I cut them in half and got the semi-sphere.

This shows gradation thru the spheres going from big to small and also the semi-spheres.

The line of spheres creates a visual line that wraps around all three semi-spheres

to connect the three semi-spheres.

The first thing we did was made it in clay, after that we made the mold around it.

When we were putting the mold on the spheres kept falling of from the weight of the

plaster mold and we just stuck them back on, but it made me nervous how it would turn out.

Then the clay came out of the mold fairly easy, and then I just cleaned it up. Then we poured

the hydrocal into the mold. After it hardened I chipped away all the mold, but again the

spheres were a problem because they became unattached to the semi-spheres and I had to

superglue them back at the end. There was also so air bubbles that I had to patch.

Overall this was a fun project, difficult but for a first time it turned out good.

Next I plan to paint it when I get a chance.

Entenza House Composition

Haunted Nightmare

Entenza House Perspective

This is a perspective in the Entenza House looking toward the sofa.

50's Diner

Axonimetric Views

Elevation Rendering

These two I practiced rendering techniques and

choosing colors that would look good together.

This one I did for the midterm. I thought it turned

out well and the colors were a good choice.

Section Cut

This is a view showing the level changes and

with poched floor, walls, and ceiling.

Rendered Floor Plans

This is the first floor plan that I rendered.

I just focused on colors and techniques to use.

This is the final one. I just tried to get it right and to

get the materials to look like what they are.

So You Think You Can Draw

I started with a black-line drawing of the camera and the outline of her face.

I used her face and hand to show the scale of the camera. Then I

rendered it in photoshop and showed light and shadow.

Composition

This composition I chose to do all straight and square like the tile floor.

I took the purple from the chair for the border because with the red being

in both colored pictures and because they are analogous colors.

So You Think You Can Draw

Photoshop Decisions

This one I changed the floor tile and color on the walls and on the 

fireplace.  I also used the burn tool on the couch.

On this one I wanted to change the fireplace stones to tan colors.  

And I worked of the colors of the fireplace.

This one I left the walls red, but made them brighter.  I changed the floor

tile to gray and the kitchen table I made black.

Another Perspective of the Space

For this perspective I chose to do it more precise and have straight lines.  

I tried to show the light and shadow as best I could on the walls, floor, 

and on the furniture.  Instead of just putting scale figures into the perspective 

like I usually do, I also tried to create a space for them and show entourage 

and have them actually living in the room.

Rendering Perspectives

For this assignment we were to pick a painting by Maud Gatewood and take 

four colors from that painting and apply them to our room perspectives. 

The perspective above is a style that is more lose with the lines and focuses more

 on light and shadow.  The shadowing that I did in this is more dark and sketchy.

This perspective is still loose but has a little more structure to how they are put 

on the page.  These colors are very bright and bold and I don't think they 

worked as well as the above one.

This perspective has more tighter lines and the light and shadow is focused 

on more than just darker or black spaces, I think I showed it well on the floor.  

These colors are a better choice and I also think that the checkered tile floor

 gives it a different feel then the other two that are solid.  

Inspiring Room

For this project we were to choose an inspiring room.  I chose the image above.  

From that room we were to then create a new room based on the perspective from the inspiring room.  We were giving guidelines for what to place in the room, such as table, 6 chairs, couch, chair, and coffee table.  Also which wall the door was to be placed on and how many windows.  We were to also place a skylight in the SW corner.

Then we were to draft the floor plan showing the space we created in the first perspective and to also add a study space to the other side including a desk, chair, shelving, and lighting.  I wanted the study to be in a separate room from the living room and dining room so that you wouldn't have been distracted by others.  The other half on the lower part of the plan is the kitchen.  The french doors lead out to a patio.

Then we were to show the perspective of the other half of the room you designed in the floor plan.
